Could not find anything on this on the xensource or via google .. I plan to "clean" up my system and reinstall Xen .. Is there a clean, published/suggested way of uninstalling Xen (I installed it via the Xensource tar ball binaries) If not can anyone point me to what directories/files I should be deleting Many Thanks Srini -- _______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.

Hi,
If you can download src tree, you can probably uninstall it via doing "make
uninstall".
If cannot, you can probably do the bellow manually. :-)
[ -d /etc/xen ] && mv -f /etc/xen /etc/xen.old-`date +%s` ||
true
rm -rf /etc/init.d/xend*
rm -rf /etc/hotplug/xen-backend.agent

> [...] > Thanks for the tip .. any idea why there is no official uninstaller ?It''s not common for free source software packages to provide an uninstaller - I can''t tell why this is so. In general, if the software gets more mature and commonly used, most users will install binary packages made for their distribution, which provide possibilities of clean uninstallation. There are already xen packages for a variety of Linux distributions. Checkinstall is a tool to help with tracking installation and therefore making uninstallation easier: http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ But I din''t try it myself yet.
